There is never an easy answer to this, in my opinion, and, although we are very happy with our choice, in the end, the international schooling situation in Barcelona can be a challenge for families relocating from abroad.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10939 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"411\" height=\"274\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-370x247.png 370w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-20x13.png 20w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-185x123.png 185w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-400x267.png 400w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/blackboard-72x48.png 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">Blackboard<\/h6>\n<h3><strong>Our experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As a seasoned expat mum I knew better than to rely on the relocation agents\u2019 recommendations as they often don\u2019t have the full picture and they have their own biases. Better to inform yourself by reading a variety of blogs, online forums, and talking to friends of friends to try to get a better understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Public schools were not an option for us as the children were older (12 and 16) and had already started the International Baccalaureate program.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, we chose the <strong>American School of Barcelona (ASB),<\/strong> a private school just outside the city in St Just Desvern, where we also chose to live so the boys could walk to and from school.<\/p>\n<p>Our decision to switch from a British school in Geneva to an American school was mainly influenced by the fact that it was one of only a handful of schools offering the IB. We also loved the school\u2019s modern facilities and had received very good feedback from other parents.<\/p>\n<p>It has to be said, though, that the fees of most international schools at between 1,000 and 1,500 euros per month per child are out of reach of many international families \u2013 unless the employer is paying a schooling allowance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10936 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"269\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-370x247.png 370w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-20x13.png 20w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-185x123.png 185w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-400x267.png 400w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/teacher-72x48.png 72w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">Teacher teaching a class<\/h6>\n<h3><strong><em>\u2018Net income is an issue\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cBarcelona is a very attractive location for young professionals, but the city has difficulties attracting senior researchers and middle managers with families, which has a strong impact on the competitiveness of the city\u2019s research centers and corporates,<\/em>\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/es\/sobre-nosotros\/organizacion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cristina Vali\u00f1ani<\/a>,\u00a0 Barcelona Global Projects Director.<\/p>\n<p>For a middle manager or a senior researcher in his or her 30s or 40s, the cost of international schooling for more than one child compounded by the relatively high housing costs makes it unaffordable relative to income, she adds.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, one of the main reasons professionals give for declining offers in Barcelona, is the lack of an affordable, accessible international school for their children. <em>Although Barcelona\u2019s schooling system is very good, they need their children to initially follow an international curriculum to lower the risk of their decision while they make Barcelona their new home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In surveys and focus groups for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/downloads\/dossieritm2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2021 International Talent Monitor <\/a>\u00a0(ITM) \u2013 expats identified that the cost of international schools when considered in conjunction with lower salaries on average in Barcelona and the high cost of housing \u2013 make the net income comparatively low for internationals \u2013 particularly senior talent, who look beyond lifestyle and attractiveness when considering a place to settle.<\/p>\n<p>The overall level of general satisfaction with the school system in Barcelona has remained stable (4,7 out of 7) compared to previous ITM reports.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of international children attend international schools but this has dropped significantly from 46% in 2019 to 39% in 2012. Although the numbers in private and local public schools are also slightly down, the drop in international school numbers of 7% is by far the biggest.<\/p>\n<p>Children\u2019s educational opportunities also showed an increase as one of the reasons expats give for leaving the city at 7%.<\/p>\n<p>When selecting a school for their children, international parents also lament the lack of international languages taught in public and concertada (state-subsidized) schools.
